When we think of oral health, we often just visualize our teeth. However, your teeth on their own don’t do all the work alone. The health of the soft and hard tissues that support them is just as crucial to preventing disease, decay, and a wide range of adverse dental conditions. At Sopris Smiles, we can help keep your mouth healthy thanks to our periodontal screening and treatments in Englewood.
Periodontal disease, also known as periodontitis, is an infection of the gum that causes inflammation and bleeding. If left untreated, periodontitis can become more severe and potentially lead to tooth loss.
Treating periodontal disease is just as important for your overall health as it is for your dental health. Periodontitis has been identified as a risk factor for both heart and lung disease.
Advanced dental technology for efficient, comfortable treatments with same-day results and faster healing.
If you’ve experienced any of the following, you might be afflicted with periodontitis:
The first step to treating periodontal disease is identifying the problem. Our screening process is comprehensive and takes into account your unique oral health situation.
Once we’ve identified the presence of periodontal disease, we get to work. We remove the plaque and tartar buildups that are the source of your gum inflammation. Then, we conduct a complete cleaning and flossing to eliminate any particles that could stay between your teeth and fester. Finally, we use an antibacterial mouthwash to ensure your mouth feels fresh and clean.
Let the experts at Sopris Smiles keep your teeth healthy and looking glorious for years to come. Call our office today to schedule your first appointment!
A routine cleaning focuses on removing plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth above the gumline. Periodontal treatment goes much deeper, addressing the roots of your teeth and the areas beneath the gumline where bacteria and diseased deposits can build up. If gum disease is present, a standard cleaning alone is not sufficient to stop its progression.
We provide non-surgical periodontal care, including scaling and root planing and laser-assisted gum treatment. For cases that require surgical intervention, such as bone grafting, we will refer you to a trusted specialist to ensure you receive the highest level of care.
Yes, and this is something Dr. Golnaz takes very seriously. Research has linked periodontal disease to a number of systemic health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke. At Sopris Smiles, we take a whole-body approach to dental care, which means we treat your gum health as an important piece of your overall wellness, not just an isolated oral issue.
